Wireless communication networks are widely deployed to provide various communication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, broadcasts, and so on. Such networks, which are usually multiple access networks, support communications for multiple users by sharing the available network resources. The spectrum allocated to such wireless communication networks can include licensed spectrum and/or unlicensed spectrum. Licensed spectrum is generally restricted in its use for wireless communication except for licensed use as regulated by a governmental body or other authority within a given region. Unlicensed spectrum is generally free to use, within limits, without the purchase or use of such a license. The demand for wireless communication continues to increase for many use cases, including but not limited to telephones, smart phones, personal computers, smart meters, remote sensors, smart alarms, mesh nodes, and many others. Time division duplex (TDD) carriers may be utilized in many wireless communication networks. Enhancements directed to TDD carriers may benefit such wireless communication networks and the overall user experience.
